Love the thick, padded straps. Knocked off a star because the band is not adjustable, I worry about the little front closure standing the test of time, and it makes my boobs have a weird torpedo shape. It's so comfortable and supportive, though, and minimizes well so I can wear under button-ups.

I recently purchased this bra for the second time. The first two that I purchased, probably over 6 months ago, looked very good and were very comfortable so, when they started losing shape and support, I purchased two more. Wearing a 40G makes it challenging to find bras in stores so I've resorted to purchasing them online. I recommend these bras, especially to fellow "well endowed" women, because they are comfortable and supportive. I've purchased other bras that seem fine in the morning but, after a day of wear, feel more like corsets; these bras are comfortable all day long

I love the way this bra fits. I am a 38DD and it supports the girls and looks good under tees. I was disappointed to find that the lave around the edges is unraveling. I haven't had the bra very long and don't wear it everyday. I was surprised to see this happening in a $50 Wacoal bra as some of my other less expensive bras that I've had for years are holding up great. I never was and dry my bras in machines so it's not like I abuse them in that way. Otherwise a great fitting bra.

I bought 3 of these to replace my Wacoal bras I'd worn for years. I didn't quite fit into the cups and allays felt pinched. I bought the same size in the Elomi and it's a perfect fit! Someone had reported there was a little wiggle room in these bras and they were right. If you don't quite fit in your current bra, but are not quite the next size up, I recommend an Elomi.

I have owned this bra for a few weeks now. After I received it in the mail i ordered 2 more right away. I have been a fan of the Wacoal full cup retro bra for years. This Chantelle supports me better than the wacoal one but doesn't lift me up as high. I choose to switch anyway because this bra I feel sexy in whether my clothes are on or off. The retro bra I feel sexy in with my clothes on but wouldn't want my man to see me in it. There is an elastic that goes along the top of the breast, so you need to get the right cup size. I do think this elastic keeps you from spilling out of the bra. Love it, you most likely will too. I am a size 32 DDD in us, I converted via the size chart to a 32E and it fits great.

This is hands down the best bra that I ever bought. It fits perfectly and gives you a wonderful figure and it is beautiful. The laser cut lace allows for elegance but no unsightly seams under tight shirts. Of course size is key - I was measured for the correct size.

This is a cute/sexy bra, fits true to size, but I wish it had a little padding. The material is super thin and I can't wear it without two layers (nipples can be seen if it's cold!). Support is nice, and I love the way it looks!

I just received this in the mail and I'm hoping to wear it on my wedding day. So far it's great and supports me really well. It's the best strapless I've tried on yet. However I haven't worn it for an extended period of time yet so we will have to see how it goes

These are hands down the best bra for bigger girls. I wear a 42DDD and I have tried other bras and I always come back to this one. I even recently tried a much more expensive brand just to see what all the fuss was about and I was back in my Vanity Fair bra the next day. Some have complained that these run small band wise but I like that they are tighter at first. They stretch out to fit your body the first few times you wear it. The cups are slightly padded which I like. It stays smooth under tees. The straps are firm elastic that holds you up but without digging. I just wish they came in more colors for larger sizes.

This was my first time trying a Charnos bra and while it didn't work this time, I will definitely keep them in mind in the future! This was cute and supportive, it was just the teeeeniest bit too big in the cups

I have tried every brand bra out there. Being large busted with a small back made it difficult to find a bra with full coverage cups that stay in place with support and comfort. Thank you barenecessaties for offering large size cups in a 34. They were impossible to find. Order several styles and brands with free returns and privacy in my home to try these on, found the perfect be that I ordered 3 more. And best part I finally got to order in colors other than white. I am a customer for life

Very comfortable. Most importantly, the straps don't slip off my shoulders! Have been wearing these for several years. True to size. They last a long time (I wash in machine and line dry). Good buy, especially when on sale.

I love this bra! I always had a terrible time finding a bra that didn't push me to the sides until I found this one. It shapes me well and makes me look skinnier! (Always a plus!) No Headlights. Comfortable. I will stick with this bra!

Mother of three, now late teens and lets just say gravity is not my friend, especially at this size. I have very large, dense and heavy breasts and a small rib cage, not an easy combo to fit. I hate when a bra gives that rounded shape that overlaps your arm, it just makes me feel fat and this helps keep things forward and the internal sling side support helps define my shape and keep that overlap away. This however also makes the breast seem a bit larger. I found the band to be a bit tight and went up a size for comfort, normally a 32J I purchased the 34HH. I'm happy with the bra and the way it supports, it has me lifted and forward. Only negative is I wish it came in nude.

I love this bra. It is the 3rd one I have had and I highly recommend it. They did change the design a little which I don't love... But it has great support and is a bra in a bra and is very comfortable!

I bought this bra online after having a fitting for the Caitlyn Elomi bra in a store at the nearest big center to me. My town just doesn't offer the selection available online. This is THE bra for me. It is super supportive especially on the side (no chicken wings) and yet comfy. I find the bra needed very little adjustment once I received it. Thank you for offering this product for people like me!

Several years ago, I went to a bra-fitting event at a high end retail store. The bra chosen was this Wacoal Simply Stated. I've continued to use this brand since! Sadly, the stores don't carry this style so I was ecstatic to find it at Bare Necessities!
For me, the best feature is the strap. It's a bit wider and padded shoulder strap that makes wearing this bra extremely comfortable. The underwires are light weight enough, you don't notice them, nor do they "dig" into you like many underwires do. It works great under t-shirts. The bra itself wears well, and lasts a long time as long as you properly take care of it. (My original Wacoal lasted 8 years, until the underwire broke. Otherwise, it was still in excellent condition).
